JimboS1ice Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 These seem like nice machines powered by a Honda engine. It's cool to see a great engine in these, definitely shows care by ryobi. They have this model and a model for a few more bones just northern 3000 psi. http://m.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-2800-PSI-2-3-GPM-Honda-Power-Control-Gas-Pressure-Washer-RY802800/205566052 Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 It's definitely nice to have that Honda motor. Ryobi definitely could have cheapened things up with a different motor. That motor is the main reason I'm probably going to by one of these. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Don't have a washer, yet lol but these are tempting, personally I would go for the higher pressure washer. I've used soap dospensers before on washers though and they are hit or miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 We have a big pressure washer that is for washing down a several thousand head hog building. It's got entirely too much pressure for home use so this looked perfect for dragging around at home.

DR99 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I want a pressure washer but can't justify the hassle and space one would take up. Plus being in MI if I use it once I have to winterize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 That is probably the best solution. I wouldn't mind Ego coming out with a sweet little cordless unit i could keep in the basement or super easy to drain out the pump for winter. The Flex is a nice option too it's expensive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Same price and specs as the Subaru pressure washer I bought at Costco. Looks identical too. I think I prefer the blue color of the Subaru though, but I'm also a Honda fanboy. The Subaru was a really nice pressure washer right up untill it was stolen. Not sure if I'm going to go with this one or another Subaru, I think the Subaru was closer to 270. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I would like to see a soaper pickup hose instead of a reservoir. Use the soaper all the time at work with a 5 gallon bucket for SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Sam's has a simpson honda pressure washer 3000 psi with a 50ft hose instead of the 25ft like the ryobi, and it comes with the circle floor cleaner for $330. My friend just bought one this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Been a bit cold or rainy. Plans to try it this weekend. My neighbor has a black max from Sam's I used to wash my house last year and it worked flawlessly. I picked up a non Honda Simpson and again been flawless so far, got a killer deal on it for $100 from Sam's. I picked up a chemical guys foam Canon to wash my cars. Keeps the soap out of the pressure washer. Works pretty well. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 With the added features/specs I would get the Simpson but that is me. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzman Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I like the looks of this Ryobi washer,i actually have it on my HD list. I could use a power washer for quite a few things like cleaning my concrete patios out back,washing the sides of the house,washing vehicles(which you cant do in Cali without one now,because of the drought). I'll have to scope out the ones at sams,thanks rich for that heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Yeah I was in the same boat. I gave up the first few times. I didn't realize it only dispensed when you had the soaper nozzle on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
